Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania

a review by Peter McGinn

Okay, there are a plethora of reviews here by Marvelettes and more, so I will only give my gut response. Perhaps this movie was doomed to disappoint me, because Ant Man is still my favorite Marvel film of all for its wit and humor. That humor grew out of his interaction with his daughter and other people. This movie removes him to a strange complex world that struck me as a cross between the bar in Star Wars and the deserts of Dune. He was out of his element with his grown daughter and now-aged cohorts and it left me rather bored, surprisingly. But without my baggage, I am sure others enjoyed it immensely.
